Chuck< if you think that the 'distance" and Beer drinkers Unions have intense members, they are both feeble compared to the Backyard Table types, who will turn into Bill Bixby-type "Hulksters" if NYRA tries to charge for those picnic tables ( other than the paddock tables that they started charging for a few years back)
Agreed on the temporary distance change. Its circumstantial and actually a good circumstance, a big investment by the state in to the future of racing in New York. If the powers that be decided to change the distance, for example because "modern horses not going that distance", that to me would be a big problem.
New York racing has become more and more uninviting. I wouldn’t attend Belmont at Saratoga unless I was being paid to attend or someone paid my way to watch their horse run. People who love Saratoga have never spent time in towns where the people have class and are polite.
